Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 21, 1917. Serial No. 156,482.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that L. WILLIAM P. PITT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Record- Shets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in' record sheets.

The object of my invention is to providea novel record sheet by means of which an accurate schedule and record may be easily made with reference to certain acts performed at certain periods.

My invention is particularly well adapted for use in connection with the lubricating of certain parts of an automobile at certain periods of miles traveled by the machine.

One of the objects of my invention is to.

enable the operator of a machine to determine at a glance what acts are to be performed with reference to the running oruse of the machine at various periods of miles traveled by the machine; and also to enable the operator to keep an accurate record of what acts designated by the schedule have or have not been performed at certain predetermined periods of travel.

The novel features of lmy invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawing, I have illustrated the preferred embodimenti of my invention as applied to a schedule and record of the lubrication of a car of a certain type.

l designates the recordI sheet ruled with vertical lines 2 which cross horizontal lines 3, thereby forming vertical rows .of spaces 4c and horizontal rows of spaces 5.

The vertical rows 4 are provided with headings 6 designating certain periods', such as miles traveled. The first row of vertical spaces, which is the one at the left, as shown in the drawing, has no heading and 'represents the period at which the lubrication begins, that is at the beginning of the travel of the machine.

The next vertical row 4 has theheading 500, designating the period at the end of five hundred miles travel. Each succeeding heading 6 to the right ofthe heading 500 increases five hundred in numerical value over the heading next to the left. The schedule illustrated is arranged for eight thousand miles of travel and contains seventeen vertical rows of spaces 16 each of which have headings of a numerical value comprisingmultiples of five hundred.

The horizontal rows of spaces 5 are respectively provided withheadings 7, which respectively designate certain acts to be performed, at certain periods of travel. ln the schedule shown, there are twenty eight headings 7 corresponding to the twenty eight horizontal rows of spaces. Theheadings 7 may be such as will direct the oper'- Patented Feb. 10, 1920.

ator in the performance of the different v acts required to be performed with the particular car to which the schedule and record is adapted. In the particular schedule illustrated, the heading in the uppermost horizontal row 5 is as-follows .Fill oil cup in generator under floor board O. The heading next below is Turn down 14 spring shackles grease cups. The succeedmg headings instruct as to the other acts to be performed in lubricating other parts of the machine.

After a certain number of miles have been traveled, certain parts of the machine should be lubricated, while other parts need not, Y at that period, be lubricated. At the start of travel all of the acts designated by the headings 7 should be performed. At that time, 1f such acts are thus performed, the

y operator enters in the vertical row at the left check marks 8 in the horizontal' ro'ws 5, thus making a record showing that such acts have all been performed at the time mentioned.

At the end of a period of live hundred miles travel, the acts designated by the first thirteen headings should be performed. With the particular machine for which this particular schedule is designed, at the 'end of one thousand miles travel, the acts desighated by. all of the twenty-one headings should be performed. At the end of lif- 'teen hundred miles travel, at twenty five hundred miles travel and at thirty five hundred miles travel, all of the acts designated by the first thirteen headings should be performed. At the end of two thousand miles travel, the acts designated by the first twenty four headings should be performed. At the end of three thousand miles tr`avel,tl1e acts designated by the first twenty one headings should be performed, and at the end of four thousand miles travel, all of the acts designated -by the twenty eight headings should be again performed, the same as at the Start of travel. This completes the cycle, following which the operations above described should be repeated.

vAs'the operator performs any of the vari-A ous acts required by the schedule, he should entera check mark 8 in the appropriate space of the proper vertical andhorizontal rows 4 and 5` respectively. I Ie'will thus have a record by which he can at anytime determine just what acts have been performed and what have not been performed.

Thus at the end of one thousand miles travel, he may have vfailed to have performed the acts designated'in' the'lifth and eleventhA headings 7. As no checkmarks 8 appear in the vertical row having the heading 1000 and opposite the fifth and eleventh headings7', the record will show `such omission. f v

In order that the operator may know just what acts are to be performed at the end of each period of tra-vel of -five hundred miles, ythere is provided indicating means which instruct him what acts need not be performed at any of such periods of travel.

Such indicating means consist, preferably, in'vertical wide lines 9 located in the vertical rows having theheadings 500, 1500, 2500,

'and 3500 respectively. The lines 9 cross thelast fifteen horizontal rows 5. Similar vertical lines 10 located inthe vertical rows respectively which have the headings 1000 and 3000, extend across the last seven horizontal .rows 5.

Al similarv vertical line 11 located in the vertical row having the'heading 2000 extends across thelast four horizontal rows 5.-

The lines 9, 10 and 11 indicateto the oper'- ator that the acts designated by the headings in the rows 5 crossed by said lines need not be performed at the periods respectively represented by said lines, and that check entr1es8 will, therefore, onlybe entered in the spaces which are directly above thev upper ends of said lines.

In the operation of my invention, at the start 'of travel, the operator is presumed to perform Iall the acts designated in the twenty-eight headings. If he does so, he should enter check marks l8 opposite said headings' respectively, in the first vertical row of spaces at the left. f

At the end of five hundred miles travel, the leftvertical line 9 instructs. him that the 'rst thirteen acts are to be performed.

At the end of one thousand miles travel, the

left vertical line 9 indicates that the first twenty-one acts are to be performed. At the end of fifteen hundred miles travel, the next vertical line designates that the lirst thirteen acts are to be performed. At the end of two thousand miles travel, the line l1 indicates that the first twenty-four acts are to be performed. At'the end of four thousand miles, the entire twenty-eight acts- -are to be repeated.

may be changed to adapt the schedule and record to any type of car, and it will be nderstcod that the particular indicating cans employed, corresponding to the lines 9, l0 and ll, may be so arranged and disposed as-to adapt the schedule and record to the particular use to which it may be put. While I` have illustrated and described the invention 'as applied to the lubrication of a car, it 4will be obvious that the invention is adapted for use as a schedule and record sheet in connection with' any certain 'series- :of acts which areto be performed at diifermit periods, either of time or travel.

What I claim is 1. A record sheet ruled iso as to provide vertical rows having headings respectively tal rows'having headings .respectively designating certain acts to be performed, someof the horizontal rows having means indicating that the acts designated by the headings thereof are not to be performed at the periods represented by the miles traveled.

2. A record sheet ruled so as to 'vertical rows having headings respectively designating miles traveled, and the horizon-y tal rows having headings respectively designating'certain acts to be performed, Asome of the vertical rows being' provided respectively with lines extending 'across certain of the horizontal rows, and indicating that the acts designated by the headings of the rows so'crosised are not to be performed at the perlods which said lines respectively represent.

vertical and horizontal rows of spaces, the vertical rows having headings.y respectively designating miles traveled, and the horizontal rows having headings respectively desig- 3. A record sheet ruled so as to provide vertical and horizontal rows of spaces, the

designating miles traveled, and the horizonl provide vertical and horlzontal rows of spaces, the' r nating certain acts to be performed, some of the vertical rows being provided respectively with lines extending across certain horizontal rows, and indicating that the' acts designated by the headings of the rows so crossed are not to be performed at the periods which said lines respectively represent, some of In testimony *whereof l have signed my name to this specification;
